Print Recipe
Equipment
- 4 craft sticks (popsicle sticks) (large or small)
Ingredients
- 2 bananas, ripe but still firm
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Cut unpeeled bananas in half, creating 2 "tops" and 2 "bottoms".
- Insert a craft stick into the cut end of each banana piece, being careful not to poke through the top.
- Peel bananas.
- Place flat on a plate or dish. Freeze for 4 hours or until firm.
- Make Homemade Magic Shell: In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips in microwave in 30 second intervals until they begin to melt. Microwave in 10 second intervals until completely melted. Stir in oil until completely smooth.
- When bananas are completely frozen, place Homemade Magic Shell in a baggie or piping bag. Drizzle over frozen bananas until covered to your liking.
- Return to freezer for an additional minute to allow chocolate coating to harden. If desired, flip bananas and drizzle other side.
- Once chocolate is hardened, store bananas tightly covered in the freezer until ready to eat!
Notes
- For authentic "Magic Shell" flavor, use milk chocolate chips. In a pinch, semi-sweet or dark can be substituted, but the flavor will be different.
- Vegetable oil can be replaced with any other neutral-flavored oil. If a solid fat (like crisco or coconut oil) is used, you'll have to reheat the Magic Shell each time you want to use it.
- Store leftover Homemade Magic Shell in a glass jar at room temperature up to a month.
- If your magic shell becomes too solidified to pour, simply heat in a microwave for a few seconds until warm.
